After marrying the fierce god, her handsome young husband was pampered to the extreme.

Yin Cheng was shopping with his wife when he unexpectedly saw a long queue in front of a shop. He asked a passerby and learned that a new dessert shop had opened up ahead.

Lin Nian's dessert shop is thriving, and it has quickly opened up the market in Caixia City in just two months.

Merchants in the city probably sensed the business opportunity and started opening dessert shops as well.

There are three dessert shops on this one street alone.

Lin Nian was curious about what kinds of sweet soup the locals had, so she pulled the man to join the queue.

When it was their turn, Lin Nian realized something was wrong.

Milk and red bean paste soup, honey fruit juice, and white fungus sweet soup.

The dessert at this shop was exactly the same as the one at his shop, the only difference being that this shop added ice to the drink.

People suffer from the summer heat and naturally choose iced drinks.

No wonder this shop has the best business.

Yin Cheng stroked his chin. "It seems all the ice in the city is here."

Lin Nian said regretfully, "It's also my fault for not thinking of this sooner. I missed the opportunity and now I can't buy ice even if I want to."

Yin Cheng rubbed his wife's head and said, "It's just ice, I'll figure something out for you."

"No abuse of power for personal gain." Lin Nian squeezed the man's palm. "You're not allowed to interfere in the shop's affairs."

He thought for a moment and said, "Just enjoy your life as a kept man, and don't worry about anything else."

Yin Cheng suppressed a laugh, "Alright, alright, then we'll have to rely entirely on my husband."

Lin Nian blushed, feeling a little embarrassed.

After a stick of incense had burned, we finally reached the doorway.

Lin Nian bought a bowl of chilled white fungus soup. Since there were no seats available at the shop, she spent an extra ten coins to buy a bamboo tube to take away.

Caixia City has no bamboo; these bamboo tubes were all bought from other counties, and they were much more expensive.

Lin Nian had considered using bamboo tubes before, but a bowl of sweet soup only cost about ten coins, and bamboo tubes were almost as expensive as the sweet soup.

Once back at the mansion, Lin Nian opened the bamboo tube and took a bite. The ice had melted into ice shards, which dissolved in her mouth, providing excellent relief from the summer heat.

"No wonder everyone goes to his shop to buy sweet soup. It does taste much better with ice." Lin Nian held the bamboo tube to the man's lips. "Husband, you should try it too. It tastes very refreshing."

Yin Cheng doesn't like sweet drinks, but he tried a sip for his wife's sake.

Yin Cheng could easily praise his wife, saying, "Nothing tastes as good as what you cook, my wife."

"If only we had ice too," Lin Nian sighed softly, then asked, "Husband, how do we make that milk tea you mentioned before?"

Lin Nian didn't pay much attention to the fact that someone was stealing his business. Although the other party had ice, their products were imitations of the sweet soups in his shop.

As long as we develop new product categories, we won't have to worry about a lack of customers.

That evening, the couple went to find materials separately. Huayue went to the shop with Wang Zhao, leaving Xiaofu to tend the fire in the red clay stove.

Yin Cheng found the Snow Mountain Silver Needle tea that his brother had given him before. This tea is so valuable that it takes a thousand acres of tea fields to produce just one ounce. Now he used it all to make milk tea with his wife.

Lin Nian held up the small jar. "We only have goat milk left now, is that alright?"

Yin Cheng wasn't sure either, "It should... be okay, right?"

"You'll know once you try," Lin Nian said.

The three of them sat around the small red clay stove. Lin Nian looked up at the man and asked, "Husband, what should we do?"

Fortunately, the temperature dropped sharply after nightfall, making it just right to sit around the stove.

Yin Cheng recalled a tutorial he had seen before, "It seems that you have to stir-fry the tea leaves with sugar first."

Xiao Fu said, "Then I'll go get the candy."

He quickly returned with the sugar jar. "Your Highness, how many spoonfuls would you like?"

"I don't know," Yin Cheng said. "Niannian, how much do you think is appropriate?"

Lin Nian thought for a moment, "Then let's try adding one spoonful first."

Xiao Fu scooped a spoonful of sugar into the small pot, and the white sugar granules quickly melted and gradually turned brown.

Yin Cheng grabbed a handful of tea leaves, put them in, and stirred them with chopsticks.

After the aroma of the tea leaves is released, pour in the goat milk.

"Now we're just waiting for the milk to boil," Yin Cheng said, sounding a little unsure. "It shouldn't taste too bad, right?"

Lin Nian said with a smile, "I believe in my husband."

After the milk tea was boiled, the heat was turned off and it cooled. Xiao Fu poured the milk tea into a small cup. "Wang Jun, have a taste."

Lin Nian took the small cup, blew on it to cool it down, and took a sip. The sweet and smooth taste spread in his mouth, and his eyes lit up.

"Husband, this milk tea is delicious!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Fu also felt a little hungry, but as a mere servant, he restrained himself even when he was hungry.

Lin Nian knew his personal servant well enough to say, "Xiao Fu, you should try some too."

Xiao Fu, having received permission, poured himself a small cup and eagerly drank it all in one gulp.

"Wang Jun, it's super delicious!" Xiao Fu said. "If our shop started serving milk tea, the doorstep would be so crowded with customers that it would break down."

Lin Nian chuckled, then seemed to think of something, "This milk tea is easy to imitate. We don't have ice, so it's been difficult to sell this long summer."

"Nian Nian".

"what?"

"Do you want ice?"

Lin Nian said, "Of course we want to, but all the ice shops in the city are empty right now. We can't exactly go to people's homes to buy some, can we?"

"That's not quite it," Yin Cheng said. "Niannian, I can conjure ice, do you believe me?"

"...I believe you." Lin Nian thought to herself, she should still spoil her husband a little without thinking. Even if her husband said the sun rises in the west, she would firmly say that her husband was right!

Yin Cheng picked up his wife horizontally.

Lin Nian exclaimed in surprise, and the small cup in her hand slipped and fell to the ground.

Xiao Fu quickly picked it up, hugged the candy jar, and ran out.

Lin Nian gave him a soft, reproachful look and said, "What's wrong?"

"I'll take you to get some ice."

Lin Nianmang wrapped his arms around the man's neck in a daze. It was the first time he had been carried around like a princess by a man. Before, he would always lie on the man's shoulder. Now, buried in his arms, he couldn't see anything, but he didn't feel scared.

Lin Nian, thinking of the man's bandit-like behavior, was horrified. "You're not going to take me to steal ice, are you?"

The idea of ​​robbing the rich to help the poor, or stealing ice from the homes of heartless rich people, really sounds like something a man would do.

Yin Cheng stumbled, "Wife, what kind of image do I have in your heart?"

Lin Nian coaxed the man, "Of course, it's about having a really good image."

Although he said that, he was thinking about how back in the capital, he wondered who it was that always took him to the palace to do petty theft!

They even stole walnuts!

This has completely ruined her reputation as a well-bred young lady.

Lin Nian couldn't help but smile to herself as she thought about it.

Yin Cheng didn't notice his wife's furtive actions. In the darkness, he carefully observed every part of the wall.

He had been thinking of going to Yuezhou's capital to buy some ice, but then he suddenly remembered the ancient method of making ice with saltpeter.

If we could find saltpeter, we could have ice to cool off during the day, and my wife wouldn't have to suffer so much.
